I have a friend who is back east right now with her son, who will be a freshman at Johns Hopkins this year, and I envy her the closeness to this exhibit. I'd probably miss some important stuff with the kid just to stand around at the Folger with my mouth open.<br /><br />And yes, it's all very interesting. Since I live where I do I'm keeping a close eye on this one. Bankrupt + stupid = charging bloggers. Good thing I don't make any money from tapping on a keyboard.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-4602903332136555612010-08-28T04:35:06.876-08:002010-08-28T04:35:06.876-08:00Thanks for the heads-up about the Folger.

I rarely get the chance to see this sort of thing in person, so these online exhibits are a real gift.<br /><br />Yes, that Philadelphia story is all over the blogosphere (although, if anyone wishes to <i>pay</i> me <i>not</i> to blog, I'm certainly open to offers...) It reminds me of an old Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times."<br /><br />These are interesting times indeed, aren't they?Undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214242522330278662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-56093444537596384622010-08-27T14:40:00.741-08:002010-08-27T14:40:00.741-08:00Ahoy, Timmy and thankee.

Corporate/Government only websites a la Venezuela is pretty much what you'll get. Good times.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-27693765673423612662010-08-27T13:58:05.316-08:002010-08-27T13:58:05.316-08:00Ahoy, Pauline!

From the sublime (the exhibit at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington DC) to the ridiculous (the attempt by the city of Philadelphia to charge bloggers a fee to write and post on the Internet) and everything in between (including a nice Piratical Fact of the Week)... Don't even get me started on the NYT, Pirate Queen.<br /><br />Oh well, a happy Friday to you and all of your followers. Let's hope that freedom of speech prevails and you don't have to start paying the municpality of Anchorage for the priviledge of blogging any time soon.Timmy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09902641426229272672noreply@blogger.com
